- he present invention relates to a typewriting machine having a typecylinder and no key-board, in which the 1m ression of the type which iseffected on t e downward movement of the type cylinder against the meansof a key ever in themanner already known. For purpose the type cylinderspindle g as in so as to be capable of rotation within a swinging sleeveor the like, from which it extends in the direction away from thewriter. This sleeve-is capable of movement upon an axis horizontally andvertically.

The type cylinder wis brought into the lifted position indicated indotted lines in Fi .'1 principally by special operating mecham sm withwhich the present invention is In every down stroke of the typecylinderwhich effects the imfpression of thety e, the position of the typeorprinting is ma e positive and exact by the enlgagement of a starwheelmounted on the cy mder spindle in the usual manner, which wheel, beingprovided with a space corres onding to the't e-to be y afixed edge w "chenters that space and thus effects-the positive and exact angularplacement of the type cylinder for the printing of that articular type;while at the same time an e e fixed on the bearing or sleeve of thecylin er spindle, enters in the usualmanner in one of the spaces of acomb which-is fixedly mounted on the base support in the directioncorresponding to that of the type cylinder axis, and thus effects theexact placing spindle is not sufiiciently supported in the Germany, haveinpoint itself, is

the ends of the arms of the type cylinder in the direction of itslengthupon the downstraight and parallel guiding during the downward movementin which the position ofthe type is determined, and is thus subject to alittle lateral movement in the horizontal plane, which is occasionedalso and augmented by the slightest inaccuracy of workmanshi in theconstruction of the parts. In order to avoid this, the employed, whichis illustrated in the drai ings, where all the parts of the machinewhich are not necessary for the understanding of the invention are leftout for the sake of clearness.

In the drawings, Figure l'is an elevation partly in section of a machineprovided according to the invention. Fig. 2 is a plan corresponding toFig. 1. Fig. 3 is a cross section on the line ab of Fig. 1.

Instead of one comb for the exact and positive placing of the typecylinder in the ength direction, two such combs k and 7c are provided inthe interstices, of which laterally extending arms .9 provided on thebearing or sleeve 7* of the cylmder spindle 9 can engage with theirnotches. Thereb the bearing or sleeve r, which is always a little slack,and with which the type cylinder is moved to and o and up and theosition of impression of the t pe cylinder y being fixedly heldlateraliyat two points. The third point, the impression thereby exactlydetermined, so that a lateral movement of the type cylinder w with itsspindle g is completely precluded.

What 'I claim as m invention and desire to secure byLetters Intent is At pewriting machine comprising a type cylin right angles thereto and twocombs placed parallel to the spindle, one on each side thereteethbetween which engage.
